I completely agree.  I found David's explanations quite helpful in
determining the legitimacy of the original suggestion.

I didn't notice much "nastiness", but I guess I wasn't really looking
for it.  I did notice that some people were wasting a developer's time
when the project as a whole needs it much more.  I'm talking,
ofcourse, about the imminent GCC upgrade that David is working on.
